Wow thanks for the info! That's a huge help. I was interested in the block year because i assume that buying and fitting parts will be a lot easier with a year? Perhaps it's my ignorance. I'm going through the process of collecting cereal numbers and cataloging all the parts off this beautiful frankenstien.

NTFDAY: Thank you for all the help. So you say electric choke rules? Why is it so good? I am trying to figure out how all these parts work with each other.
